Hey Baby (feat. Mos Def) - Stephen Marley featuring Mos Def

Just when I thought everything was good Friend I guess I misunderstood Thought that we had mutual respect Now I see the thanks that we get So be careful who you choose as your friends For they might let you down in the end Just when I thought, a real good friend I found They pick you up to let you down, yeah Them let you down down down They let you down down down Them let you down down down Down down down down down So my son always bear in mind A faithful friend is the hardest thing to find It is better an open enemy A false friend is the hardest thing to see 'Cause when times are good when the friends are plenty In times of trouble, we're not one in twenty Just when I thought, a real good friend I found They pick you up to let you down, ah We were friends, we were friends Real good friends, we were friends We were friends, we were friends And I remember when Just when I thought everything was good My friend I guess I misunderstood Thought that we had love and respect But now I see the thanks that we get So I'm careful who I choose as my friends For they might let me down in the end Just a thought, when I thought, when I thought Them let you down down down Them let you down down down Them let you down down down Down down down down down They let you down down down Them let you down down down Them let you down down down Down down down down down We were friends, we were friends Real good friends, real good friends We were friends, we were friends And I remember when were good friends Real good friends
